ABSTRACT:
Method for hydraulic fracturing of wells by transporting a cross-linked polymer containing a proppant down a wellbore in a carrier fluid, allowing the cross-linked polymer to coalesce into a polymer phase and squeezing the cross-linked polymer as a fracturing fluid is provided. Composition of the cross-linked polymer solution and the selection of additives may be varied to adjust the viscosity, degradation time and other properties of the fracturing fluid.
